Nutrition
I was shocked at how low the fat was on this recipe after I added it up. I think what makes it so filling is the protien. One thing for sure, you won’t be hungry an hour later!
Just a few notes …
Be prepared to get filled up fast. I found it hard to finish an entire fillet. I think the next time I do this recipe, I will make my own pesto. Be sure the pesto you use is one you have used before and enjoy because that is the strongest flavor. I may cut back on the pesto a bit also just so I can get the flavor of the tilapia.
